Unhappy 14th Gen Spotlight Mirror mod/Hack

I've used the search bar but still have no confirmed answer on this.
Watched YT videos and read into the forums.
I have a 2022 Tremor 400a pkg. Want to do the anytime / any speed spotlight mirror hack.
Went with a connector style over splicing in kits or using a paper clip.
It arrived today and low and behold, where all the other green to black spotlight connections are located under the dash, to the right of the steering column, I got nothing.
Just my floor vents.
Has anyone figured this out or can point me in the right direction, or is this not doable for 14th gens and I look sheepish?

Yes that's what he is talking about. I think there is something in forscan that might be able to do it.
I'm thinking I read it somewhere so you can turn on the side mirror spot lights on at any speed.

Any update on this i have been looking into this? I know boost auto sells a harness that makes the mirror turn signals into running lights too , wondering if you could do something like that but maybe tap into the wire for the spot lights?

Default Any update?

Anyone have an update to this? I have the module and wiring installed to get the mirror lights to work as running lights on my 21 f150 , have been thinking of trying to swap some of the wires to see if we can get that harness to power the side spot lights as running lights

I was just thinking about what you were saying. I am wondering if you could find the feed wire to the switch and put a live all the time, or when lights are on, wire to it. You would think the wire that feeds power is set up to the BCM to cut power at the determined speed.

I don't think it's an forscan thing you can jumper a wire on the body control module.

I did this to my 2015 should be the same.

Okay so I was doing research and I think this gen (14) does not have its own spot light module. They're controlled through the door control modules.

Pin 12 sends the voltage from the module to the spotlight.



Any one have any ideas to override the spot lights and keep on at any time?
TIA
